Before users can create an account or login, they need to install the MetaMask wallet extension on their browser. MetaMask is available as a browser extension for popular browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Brave. Users can download the extension from the MetaMask website or the respective browser's extension store.
Once the extension is installed, users can launch the MetaMask wallet by clicking on the extension icon on their browser's toolbar. The wallet interface will appear, prompting users to create a new account or import an existing one.
Account Creation:
To create a new account, users need to follow the prompts on the wallet interface. MetaMask generates a unique 12-word recovery phrase that users need to save and keep secure. The recovery phrase is crucial because it enables users to recover their accounts if they forget their login credentials or lose access to their wallets.
After creating a new account, users need to set a strong password and enter their email address. MetaMask will send a confirmation email to verify the email address. Users need to click on the verification link in the email to activate their accounts.
Login:
Once the account is created, users can log in to their wallets using their password and the recovery phrase. To log in, users need to click on the MetaMask extension icon on their browser's toolbar and enter their password. If users forget their password, they can use the recovery phrase to reset it. MetaMask will prompt users to enter three random words from the recovery phrase in the correct order to verify their identity.
Once logged in, users can view their wallet balance, transaction history, and interact with dApps. MetaMask uses advanced security measures such as two-factor authentication (2FA) and biometric authentication (such as facial recognition or fingerprint) to ensure the safety of users' funds.
